Students create their own real-life parabola using a projectile. The goal of this project is to find the equation of the line in both vertex form and standard form. Students will verify their equations by graphing them on Desmos. 12 point rubric is included.

There are 8 groups with 4 students each. It's suggested that you print on colored cardstock (all the same color), then cut each one out. As students enter class, they can be given one card and must find the 3 other students whose cards are equivalent. Answers for each of the 8 groups is indicated in small type above each group.

A total of 36 expressions that can be cut out and given randomly as students enter class for the first time. Students must work out their expression to find their group. There are a total of 9 groups, so 4 expressions have the same value for numbers 1 through 9. *If you have less than 36 students in a period, don't forget to remove the expression cards accordingly!

Students work in groups to match equations with graphs, statements about locator points, etc. There are 16 cards (8 pairs) in this set. This can be used for review or a warm up activity, allowing students to practice these skills and justify as they play the game.

Description of project where students design a business and create a system of equations that describe cost and revenue. Rubric is included and can be modified.

Worksheet that introduces basic formulas in Excel. Formulas start of simple and get more complicated. Sheet 5 also includes a set up for compound interest formulas.

Group activity involving 8 graphs of different relations. Students cut out 12 possible domains and 12 possible ranges and match each one to the correct graph. Students also identify which of the 8 are functions and which of the 8 are not functions. File includes: - the two-page activity that each team receives - one page of domains to be printed on colored paper (2 on one page) - one page of ranges to be printed on a different colored paper (2 on one page) - answer sheets for students to write

This worksheet could be used to collect a variety of student data including height, foot size, number of siblings, and 23 other facts about students. Included are helpful links to find some of this data (such as age in days) and a code to generate a quiz on Socrative so students could input their data. I have used this as a spring break homework assigment and had students input their data on the day we resumed school. Each period, I would export the data so it could be used for activities in

Mini-project where students are given the task to come up with an original mnemonic to remember the order of operations. The document describes the task and includes a rubric that can be modified.
